The talented trio had their audience singing along to Geordie and Irish folk favourites from Blaydon Races to The Fields of Athenry.

There were energetic jigs, sentimental ballads and some jazzy flute improvisations.

Organised by the local Labour Party, the evening raised £628 for the Wansbeck Valley Food Bank.
